      I haven't even gotten 3 minutes in.. and all I can say.
      Glorious... Going to finish the rest then probably watch it again.. because. Yes... I find it odd how halo 3 odst and halo reach are the only two games with fire fight... And then I realized. The convenient.. never wholly made it past reach... Like they were staled.. and they were staled hard by the odst, rise of the flood, rise of the Banished. Let alone the casualties a handful of Spartans could cause..
      And then wonder why we don't see flood infection form's in halo infinity...
      Well basically.. human had the time to deal with the flood before it could become a problem..
      The flood basically united the covenant with humanity. And those oblivious to the flood. On the covenants side became part of the Banished.. I assume the Banished was something building up from the very start of the covenant...
      I'm mean... An all controlling superpower... Like that can't go wrong in anyway...
      Well examples of it going wrong... Look at any one of the global superpowers history.. and realize.. that's what I just mentioned..

      But a Spartan's duty is to give hope where there is none, and where he gave those ODSTs hope by saving them, they refused to their last breath to let him lose the hope he gave them.

      We deserved it alright. There's been a severe lack of well-done fan-made halo animations and such. At least in comparison to other franchises in a similar stature. (Warhammer, Starwars, Doom, Half-Life) To top it all off, we've got the most unorganized, benighted and outright incompetent studio currently responsible for Halo.
      While other studios responsible for said franchises also have serious issues that cause their community headache after headache, they at least get far more regular content that is more often than not much more authentic to the series than what Halo has gotten the past years.
      343 has tried to turn and twist the image of Halo for no other reason than "We're not bungie". A waste of a studio that have misunderstood their purpose, instead striving to alienate the audience they were left with. So to be honest, I'd say if there's any community that deserves to have content like this made, Halo is definitely one of them

Eles deviam ser ainda mais respeitados justamente por não ter as melhorias, se um ODST tomar um tiro ele vai sentir a dor, não vai ter um escudo pra proteger ele, e nem super força pra matar um inimigo maior, tudo vai depender da experiência em combate e de suas habilidades.

    The fact that this tells us of a different spartan team on reach and their last stand was holding a front line in defense of the autumn while noble 6 took out the covenant corvette with the MAC. And implying that the lone wolf survival mission at the end of reach was noble 6 fighting at this groups last stand location or at least somewhere nearby. Watched this with each part uploaded and now after watching it again in its entirerty i realize what it was. God damn, talk about amazing

      @@drazam6608 343 haven't had a clear direction since they inherited the franchise, bouncing from plot to plot with each new game, they've retconned so much shit entirely unnecessarily that it begs the question of why they even exist if they can't handle working off the plot that already existed from Bungie's days (though to be fair, Bungie had issues with that too, given that the books exist and don't play nice with the canon in the games), and they're following right along with the industry trend of "we don't have to bother polishing our games or finishing them before they release, that's what patches are for".
      That's not to mention the season passes, whether it's them implementing scummy bullshit or rewriting something that was already perfectly functional because they feel like they could do better? I guess?
      To put it in Halo terms, 343 have failed to properly uphold the Mantle of Responsibility. If you like the games and don't take issue with the issues, more power to you, but simping for a corporation worth hundreds of millions of dollars ain't good for you or the series. Hold them to standards or they'll take every inch of slack you give them.

    It didn't take long for Reach to fall: our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close, I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything… except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild.

    We breach through the great flood, fight for a heroic comeback
    And now, we are shocked and grateful to see all these stories, stories of endless, nameless heroes accompanied in this journey. such delightful to fulfill our dream, make our dream story more and more complete and prosper
    However, the world is cruel, trying to make a living in front of reality、of markets taste or better profitability . Deviate our best story to an unwilling direction. So it hurts, hurt a lot of people's feeling and memory. while being disregard by people who doesn't care about fans feeling
    Perhaps i only speak for myself. but
    the noble sacrifice of noble team
    the cruel battle of winter contingency
    the Countless ODST and marine die trying to protect
    The Fall of orbital Defence Generator and the story of these spartan
    and everything happens around the heroes' storyline. Perhaps is what we truly want,
    A 【Completed, Detailed, maybe undramatic STORY】of the Halo universe
    So im here, with the tear in my face, give my regards to SODAZ

    The sight of ODST's sharing one last time camaraderie with a Spartan, knowing full well that they won't being able to do it again, giving him a pistol, knowing full well that its the last thing he could have done to make the covenant pay... its a sight that put a smile on my face. You took Reach, you glassed it. But you will never trully break us. In moment of despair and defeat, humanity take up the challenge, and for every ounce of blood we spilled, we're gonna make you bleed even more.

      This was the end.
      "C'MON, SPARTAN! GIVE EM HELL!" The man inside swung his rifle up again, and laughed madly as he held the trigger.
      Time was slow here.
      The Spartan was, dying. His medical readout said it. He felt it.
      A plasma bolt embedded itself into the ODST's throat. His laughter cut off, rifle walking into the sky, clicking empty, as his body fell. The Spartan raised the pistol.
      The woman backing them up threw her last grenade, and began turning to engage another threat. Two rounds struck her in the sternum, armor boiling red and white, though she still managed to pull the trigger back before another took her in the visor. The handgun thundered.
      Time was slow here.
      One's shield sparked and shattered, a third round sinking into his maw. A second's shield flashed orange brittle, before the Sangheili bashed the pistol from his hand.
      The sword came down, down, down...
      The moment came after a year of waiting.

      Which, for me, is powerful because its established that many ODSTs share fierce rivalry with Spartans to the point of hate. Not that some can be blamed like that one ODST commander in The Flood novel. Still, I say in good will, if there was any place for a Spartan to die, its their home on Reach. If there's any place for an ODST to die alongside a Spartan, its also on Reach.

    You just made the ending of Halo Reach 100x more special, by showing us that the MAC cannon cruiser takedown and Pillar Of Autumn takeoff would have been seen for miles around, by both the covenant and surviving UNSC. Most of the human forces knew they probably weren't making it off the planet alive at that point, but they bought *just enough* time for another ship to get away. And most of the covenant might've been surprised to see a *whole cruiser* go down so late in the invasion, when they'd wiped out almost all of the human forces and ships even capable of doing that, when they'd basically *already won.*
    There were so many great action/character beats in this video, like that ODST in the rain with the matching OST, and the Silent Shadow elites (the covenant got just as much love as the UNSC!)
    Just the fact that you animated AT LEAST over a hundred character models over god knows how many shots & sequences... This is up there with the most passionate Halo fan works ever made, if not at the top of the list.
    Even if you go on to animate other things and never make another piece of Halo content ever again, I wish you the best. Keep going!
